It's good fun doing something tricky, I make all sorts of things dumb down, 3D print heads for training rounds etc. Plus I can therefore I do haha

So the only benifit is that it keeps you off the streets? personally I fail to see the attraction but if you enjoy it go for it.

I agree with the first part of your post - I recently built a 1/20th scale work caboose for my railroad using about 600 Starbucks coffee stirrers - but I draw the line when it comes to playing around with explosives for 'fun'.

Anything can be done but some things are in my opinion are far too time eating and this would fall into this category IMHO - G

Think keeping me off the streets is a must with firearms lol. End of day it's fun, what anything shooting related should be.

Well, I see there's a kit out there.

This thread has been an education and an astonishment.

Though I suppose I should've guessed - it fits my long-held theory that there ain't nuffin' you can imagine that somebody, somewhere won't go and do.

But I'm afraid I'm going to put this along with extruding my own spaghetti - I've other stuff to do with whatever time is left to me....

Ignore the nay-sayers Warren, it's old boys like you who preserve the ancient and dark arts of hobbydom!

Well if I'd taken that view there would have been a lot of very quiet amateur pantomimes in my past where I "played around with explosives for fun" to do the special effects. I also did a fair bit of EOD in the middle east just for fun as well.

The problem is that people in the states have been stockpiling .22 ammo for "Doomsday" and there is a shortage. The manufacturers have been running at full capacity and because of the complicated priming process it's quite difficult/expensive to set up a new plant for increasing capacity.

There is a kit for reloading available over there:-

My one-time boss, Major Nigel Wylde QGM, once told me that looking back on it, it might have seemed to have been fun, but wasn't. Seems that nobody really 'did.........EOD' for fun.
